Kayak Adventure 2007!

Today I went kayaking for the first time ever! It was great. The weather was great and the river was beautiful. I went with my dear friend Dianna and a new friend, Sarah. We went on the Iowa river (blue squiggly line below):

"I am a hairdresser, I heal people"

That wonderful line is from a good movie I watched with my roommates this evening, "The Beauty Academy of Kabul" which is about some women from the US who went to Afghanistan to start a beauty school. It is actually a great movie, but some of the US women were interesting...and funny.

Beautiful Beans!

I ordered some exciting and exotic beans last week! And tonight I am making cow-bean soup, here is a picture of some red/white and black/white cow beans. Where did I order these wonderful beans? Here: http://www.purcellmountainfarms.com/Heirloom%20Beans.htm

Detroit Adventure 2007!

Here are some semi-exciting pictures:

And then some shopping at a cool grocery store that isn't in Iowa. The conference food is bad and expensive, so we bought lunch + exciting treats.

God Loves Energy Conservation

Ok, I'm not sure if I can support this from the Bible, but if I could figure how to do this without grossing out my roommates, I would totally try it:
